One of the blog entries that I penned after I came back from Hanoi. Cambodia reminded me of Vietnam.
We are blessed
A recent trip to a third world country, Vietnam, made me feel more appreciative of what I already have. The children in Hanoi do not play with playstation, nor do they play with Fisher Price toys. They mostly roam the streets and play with whatever they can find. And sad to say, most of them start working at a very tender age. Perhaps that is why we do not see any book stores? My gaze stopped on the stuffs on my (currently very messy) table; my PSP, digital camera, N95, ipod Nano, PC and some Christmas gifts. These are things that most us will have taken for granted and wouldn’t think twice about it. Aren’t we blessed?
It could have been due to poverty circumstances, some of the vendors and taxi drivers we met were really dishonest. They claimed that they have no change and refused to return us our money. One of the taxi drivers even tried to cheat us by claiming that the taxi meter is in USD, and not in Vietnamese Dong. And if you want to buy anything from the shops, you have to bargain for it. My colleague, Tam, told me that even the locals themselves have to negotiate for the prices!
Let’s start counting our blessings!
